Hi my name is Matt,
This is my 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country 5-Speed.

Picked it up with 173,000 miles on it in Newark, Delaware.

Had original window sticker and all original maintenance written down in owners manual!



Local NJ member Rooster helped me find it and pick it up.



Looked like this when picked it up.












Both foglights were rusting out so i replaced both with brand new oem units.





Head lights were also replaced with european model headlamps.





You can also see the overhead console Rooster and I scored on a run to a PA Junkyard. We also liberated and freshened up some engine and transfer case OEM skid plates.





This weekend Rooster and I are headed back out to PA to pickup an (almost) matching spare



Here's how it sits now with new tires (BF Goodrich All terrain, 30x9.5)







Amurica!!!!!



The basic goal with this truck is to keep it stock as possible with light OEM style upgrades. I know this won't be popular, but no lifts (already had one offered to me for free lol), no huge tires, no safari racks. Just clean oem style, I really like this Jeep and intend to hang onto it for a long time!

 

glad you finally made a intro post great pictures and welcome to the site... yeah getting that jeep was fun as hell hope it gives you many years of great service. any questions just post or ask

 

at some pictures the jeep looks factory new.
like the interior also, it's easy to keep clean?
about the cupholders, are those factory made or aftermarket parts?

oh, and also a warm welcome from holland

 

Thanks for the kind welcome, yeah the Jeep shines up pretty well for a 17 year old truck, it has had a paint respray, decentt quality, not show status but fresh. Interior was.in great shape, just got the matching tan Husky liners for it to keep it mint. Very excited about this Jeep!

 

Hello there and welcome. Your jeep is just like new. Not bad for an old jeep

 

It does look a little low in the rear though. Do you find those tires rub at all?

 

That's a real clean looking XJ

 

Welcome from Michigan.

 

Thanks again guys, yeah it has the inherent droop from age, though no rub. I am looking for oem (preferably up country) leaf springs and shocks or something comparable. Basically nice ride quality with minimal to no lift. Any suggestions?

 

Interior is easy to clean and cup holders were an option, i believe specific to manual as the automatics had cup holders above were my parking brake would be thus right in the way of the shifter. Plus i believe there is a different center console for the automatic.

 

Hey Matt, Welcome to CF.
